The document defines a relation as a set of ordered pairs where the domain is the set of first elements and the range is the set of second elements. It provides examples of relations and their domains and ranges. It discusses using interval notation to write the domain and range and describes finding corresponding elements between the domain and range. The document also provides a word problem example involving using a relation between femur length and height to determine heights given femur lengths.

A. Definition of a Relation Video tutorial for #1-6








Use interval notation to express the domain and range of the relation.
1.













2.
Any set of ordered pairs (x, y) is called a relation in x and y.
The set of first components in the ordered pairs is called the domain of the relation
The set of second components in the ordered pairs is called the range of the relation
Hint: Domain vs. Range
D comes before R in the alphabet, just as x comes before y
So, D goes with x and R goes with y
When you list the numbers in the Domain and Range
List each number only ONCE
Dont repeat any numbers

Solve the Appliation Problem involving a Relation. Video Tutorial

The table gives a relation between the length of a
womans femur bone and her height in inches.

A. What is the domain?


B. What is the range?


C. The range element 62.2 corresponds to what
element in the domain?


D. Complete the ordered pair: (46.0, )


Based on these data, a forensics specialist can find a linear relationship between
height y and femur length x that is approximated by the relation:
y =0.906x + 24.3, where x is between 40 cm and 55 cm.

E. Find the height of a woman whose femur is 46.0 cm.





F. Find the height of a woman whose femur is 51.0 cm.
